Spring-Summer color trends in 2016

The leading designers forecast Spring-Summer color trends in 2016. The Apple Mint  and Peached Pink are the two shades for everything trendy from dresses to accessories to shoes.


  • The peach can be coordinated with subtle pink to get a warm overall look.



  • The delicate pale green in layers top-to-toe to give it a more feminine, soft and fresh appeal.

Get that look ready, add some new dresses in your wardrobe. It's time, isn't it? that you add some new shades or color, instead of the usual plain colors. Think about it, new colors, a fresh look, the right perspective!

Take care till then!

Wear your perfume where you want......

We all love a nice fragrance, and love to be enveloped in it. I am sure you would love it some you get compliments for that favorite perfume. 

Oriflame - Giordani Gold Eau De Parfum
My favorite perfume is Oriflame's Giordani Gold Eau De Parfum.


Did you know?


  • Apply your perfume where you would like to be kissed. For your perfume to spread more, apply it on the pulse points. Pulse points like behind the ear, the nape or base of the neck, bottom of the throat, inside the elbow, inner wrist and behind the knee. Avoid rubbing your wrist after applying (a habit you need to kick)



  • If you want your perfume to last longer apply a cream or a moisturizer at the pulse points first. If you have a cream of the same fragrance as your perfume, then the fragrance will last longer. 



  • Apply the perfume right after you shower, it would last longer, because moisture helps retain the perfume.



  • You are never able to smell the perfume on your own self because your brain and nose are so accustomed to it.



  • One perfume smells differently on different people.



  • When you are out to select a perfume, make sure you neutralize your nose to the scent by sniffing your own clothes or your arm instead of coffee beans (usually offered at stores)



  • Once you spray the perfume when selecting one, wait for a minute or two before you sniff it.



  • Store your perfume inside its box or inside your cupboard not on the dressing table as most of us do. Exposure to sunlight will breakdown the ingredients. Avoid storing it in the bathroom as humidity will damage it to a large extent.



  • If you are allergic to perfumes then you must try some that are mild or made from natural essential oils. There are very few cosmetic companies like Oriflame (Swedish cosmetics) that sells perfumes made from natural oils.

Renovating Homes - Simple is nice

For the past few years we have been thinking of renovating our home, especially the bathroom. We have been collecting images that fancy us and each time we realize 'simple is nice', not just on the budget also on utilization of space.


What we liked best about this bathroom?
It was the way every nook and corner was utilized with reachable shelves on both sides of the wall.
the way the shower hung in the little corner and the space to sit down and reach the unreachable. Hope to find more of the images in due course of time before we get down to renovating. Until then, Adios!

P.S We have got our home painted and new curtains put up, will be sharing those soon.

Just a Hi! and a 'Hello' to all

Well, Hi to all!



Someone has rightly said and let me quote - "There is Hell in Hello, a Good in Goodbye, and so you shouldn't be afraid of goodbye's, but careful with hellos".


I guess, I will say more of 'Goodbyes' for you to come back :) and hear me say that again.




"If every word I said, could make you laugh, I'd talk forever...."
